The snow goose was so angry that she stomped her feet, but because of the customs, she didn't dare to lift the red turban, and shouted in a low voice, "Come in." ”

Xiaochun and Xiaolan slapped their cheeks so that their cheeks were swollen, and they walked in, knelt in front of Snow Goose together, and said in unison: "Madam, please forgive me, the slaves and maids know that they are wrong!"

Xue Yan pulled off her hijab slightly, slapped the two of them on the head, and asked angrily, "You two, what are you talking about?" ”

Xiaochun cried and said: "It's the slave maid who is not good, it has nothing to do with Xiaolan, the slave maid only said that it was cold outside the door, and today's clothes are thin, and they don't have the cold, so they don't mean to complain about Mrs. ”

Snow Goose kicked Koharu in the stomach and said angrily, "Are you cold? Dare to love you as a young lady's life, but it's a pity that you can't be reincarnated, but you have become someone else's maid. You don't stay out in the cold, so can I, ma'am, go out and stand? If you had this fate, you would be the one sitting in the room today. Without such a life, what are you complaining about? Cry cry cry, now you know crying? Today is the big day of Mrs. Ben, you are crying here, add bad luck to me, see that I don't kill you. With that, he added another kick to her and kicked Koharu to the ground.

Koharu didn't dare to cry anymore, nor did she dare to cry out in pain, so she just blindly apologized and pleaded guilty.

Xiaolan stepped forward to plead and said, "Madame, please spare Xiaochun, she is young and ignorant, today is your big day, the prince will come over in a while, don't let the prince see Xiaochun crying here, for fear of upsetting the prince." ”

When Xue Yan heard this, she slightly retracted her temper and said coldly: "You two follow me to the palace, seeing that a good day is coming, I don't choose how many people in the mansion, I don't choose, I chose the two of you, you have to be content, but also recognize your identity, you are a girl, even if you marry in the future, I am still your master, besides, whether you can marry or not, it doesn't depend on me?" If you serve me well, I will find a good family to marry you in the future. If you treat me sincerely, can I still treat you badly? ”

"Yes, Mrs. Xie is very gracious, Xiaochun and I will definitely serve Mrs. well." Xiaolan didn't dare to say more, kowtowed. But I know in my heart that Mao Xueyan is vicious, where will I let them get married? probably has to be chained to her for the rest of her life, and I can't help but secretly cry bitter in my heart. With such a master, it is also their fate.

"Get out!" Xue Yan sat on the bed again, her face was a little red with anger, her teeth were clenched, thinking of the majesty of Concubine Fang Caining, she secretly swore that she must be pulled down in the future, today is her big day, she dared to sit in her new room, and swept all the things she had scattered to the ground, obviously came to demonstrate. It's a pity that these two are still ignorant, and they provoked this incident, and let her be taught a strange lesson by Concubine Ning for no reason. What a bad luck!

Xiaochun and Xiaolan hurriedly got up and went out.

Concubine Ning left Linglan Garden, she was in a very bad mood, she now has the title of Concubine Ning, even though she is in charge of the affairs of the mansion, it seems that she has crossed the princess, but she herself knows that she has lost. Mao Xueyan is young and beautiful, she is only sixteen years old this year, but she is nearly thirty, no matter how beautiful she is, she only has a few years to see. is old and decrepit, even if a man thinks of his past friendship, he doesn't dislike it, and he doesn't have the favor he used to have, and he doesn't necessarily love her much now.

"Niangniang, let's go to her new house to make trouble, aren't we afraid that the prince will be unhappy?" Tongtong asked.

Concubine Ning sneered, "Afraid? Why should I be afraid? Are we making trouble? It's just a lesson for two ignorant girls, even if the prince asks, I can push it off, and now I'm in charge of the affairs of the house, can't I even discipline the two girls? ”

Tongtong responded: "That is, besides, the prince has a mother in his heart, and he will not be angry with his mother." ”

Concubine Ning smiled proudly and said, "Men like freshness, and I'm used to seeing them when I was in the Qinglou." How can others match the friendship between me and him? It's just a few days of freshness, and after that, it's not thrown into the cold palace? Look at that Luo Yunsheng, even if she is as beautiful as a peach and plum, where does the prince care about it now? ”

She comforted herself in the same way, but she still couldn't get rid of the constant invasion of the cold in her heart, and the flutter made her subconsciously wrap her body tightly.

Xue Yan waited in the house for a long time, Xi Niang came a few times, and said that the prince was drinking with the guests, and she would come in a while, she couldn't sit still, but she had to maintain her demeanor, and said softly: "Okay, I know." ”

Xi Niang said a few auspicious words and withdrew. Seeing Xiaochun and Xiaolan at the door, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "What are you two doing standing at the door?" Why don't you hurry up and serve Madame! ”

Xiaolan hurriedly responded: "Madame likes to be quiet, so the slaves and maids will not disturb Madame." ”

Xi Niang sighed and said, "Your wife, her temperament is quite calm, not bad!" "This Xi Niang is not invited from outside, but the people around the concubine, except for Luo Yunsheng, the other aunts and grandmothers entered the door, and she carried them in, so she was highly respected in the palace, and Xiaolan and Xiaochun naturally knew about it, so they were polite when talking to her.

After the bride left, Xiaolan and Xiaochun looked at each other, and they both sighed secretly, Xiaochun was even more dazed, she wanted to cry, but she was afraid of being punished, where did she dare to cry? It's just that crying and laughing are the same as they can't be stopped, and her tears keep falling. While wiping and flowing, my eyes were swollen.

Xiaolan reproached: "Hold your grievances in your stomach and don't cry anymore." ”

Xiaochun wiped a handful of tears and tried hard to make a smile, but the tears fell again, and he flattened his mouth and said, "Xiaolan, I feel uncomfortable!" ”

"We have to hold on to the discomfort, who made us slaves?" Little Landau.

"I'm cold!"

"No matter how cold it is, you can stand."

"I'm hungry, I haven't eaten for a day, I thought she was going to eat, we can steal some food. I don't have the strength to stand, Xiaolan, I want to die. As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes again.

Xiaolan sighed, took out a few peanuts from her purse and handed them to her, "Eat it!"

Koharu looked up at her and asked suspiciously, "Do you have this?" ”

"I picked it up when I knelt on the ground, I know that you are greedy, eat quickly, and take advantage of the fact that there is no one now." Little Landau.

Xiaochun took the peanut over, and an innocent smile bloomed on her face, "Sister Xiaolan, I will definitely not forget you when I have money in the future." ”

Xiaolan smiled angrily: "Okay, just you, a crybaby, still expect you to have a chance?" ”

Xiaochun became sad again, "Yes, the days without hope are really terrifying, when I was in the house, at least there was a housekeeper who was hurting, and now that I came here, I was afraid that the days were getting harder and harder." "But he kept peeling peanuts in his hands and putting them in his mouth, and it seemed that he was really hungry.

When it was almost midnight, King Qing came over, and the snow geese were already about to go crazy, and when she heard Xiaolan come in to report, she was ecstatic in her heart, and hurriedly straightened up, sat on the bed, and waited for King Qing to come in.

King Qing stepped in, looked at the red candles burning extremely in the new house, he picked up the weighing rod and lifted the headscarf for the snow goose, the snow goose raised her eyes to look at him shyly, and said softly: "The concubine sees the prince!"

King Qing snorted, his eyes were indifferent, and he didn't take a second look, so he said, "Hungry, right?" Come and eat!"

Xue Yan was slightly stunned, and then said shyly: "Yes, the concubine will have a drink with the prince." With that, he moved to the table and sat quietly on the stool beside him.

King Qing picked up the chopsticks and ate by himself, "I drank all night of wine, and I didn't eat anything, but fortunately I remembered that there must be something good to eat here, and it was delicious, but it was a pity that it was cold." ”

"The concubine ordered someone to go to the heat." Snow Goose stood up and wanted to go out and call someone.

King Qing said, "What's still hot?" The king sent the two girls down to eat, and so did you, they stood all day, and they didn't let them go down to eat. Also, the rules of the palace, girls don't need to stand at the door for vigil, there is a small room on the side of your room, there is a bed in it, if they keep vigil, they will be inside, and they will not be cold. ”

Xue Yan's face froze, and she asked in a deep voice, "Did those two girls say something to the prince?" ”

King Qing looked up at her and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?" What will the two of them say to this king? ”

Xue Yan hurriedly smiled and said, "No, the concubine saw that the prince pitied them so much, and thought that they had said something to make the prince happy." ”

King Qing said solemnly: "It's the New Year, and it's so cold, the two of them are standing outside, shivering with cold, this king has eyes to see, and this king passed by them, heard their stomachs growling, they are wedding girls, they definitely don't know the time to eat, so this king let them go down to eat." ”

Xue Yan pretended to be moved and said: "Thank you for your compassion for them, why don't the concubines know that they have worked hard?" But the concubine is a bride today, and she doesn't know the rules of the house, so even if she feels sorry for them, she can only watch them get cold, but fortunately, the prince came. ”

King Qing said lightly: "You are very hurtful." ”

"The concubine has never regarded them as subordinates, since they came to the palace together, they are the concubine's sisters, and the concubine will naturally love them." Mao Xueyan showed a sweet smile on her face and said softly.

Where did King Qing not know that she was lying? The faces of those two girls are still swollen now, if they really love their subordinates, how can they let them stand at the door and drink the northwest wind on such a cold day? Now seeing that she was hypocritical, she was even more disgusted with her, regretting that she had said that she wanted to marry her, knowing that the most enthusiastic thing for the concubine was to take a concubine for him.

He ate a few bites casually, and then said, "You should rest early, this king has something to do when he goes back to the study." With that, he got up and went away.

Xue Yan hurriedly stood up and said urgently: "The concubine is waiting for the prince to come back after finishing his work."

"No need, this king won't be here tonight." King Qing said this, and walked away.

Xue Yan was humiliated and angry, standing in the room, I don't know if it was cold or air, shivering all over, on the first night of the wedding, he didn't spend the night in her room, this spread out, does she still have a foothold in the palace?

She clenched her fists, clenched her teeth, and said to herself in her heart: No, he must spend the night in her room tonight.

She sat on the bed, looking at the peanuts and melon seeds on the ground, the tears of grievance fell, she wiped away her tears, the diamond ring in her hand touched her cheek, she was a little painful, this ring was given by the concubine, dazzling. She quietly looked at the ring on her finger, a plan flashed through her mind, she married to be a lady, not to make people laugh, she must stand firm first, if he doesn't come tonight, he will be a joke in the palace.
